As you may recall, Damian and I went against type and watched a fictional drama last year -- Netflix's "Bloodline." Although I found myself morphing into my parents -- who seemed to spend more time speculating about what was going to happen next than actually watching shows like this when I was a kid -- we couldn't deny being intrigued by the sudsy Southern mess the Rayburn clan was. Dove into the Season 2 premiere last night and I have to admit we'd have been well-advised to have rewatched Season 1 in its entirety -- things are that convoluted and a year is a long time away -- but would be lying if I didn't confess that they have already thrown out enough bread crumbs for me to want to see where this train is headed, a train I once thought had already reached its destination. Anyone else watching? The incredible cast including Kyle Chandler, Linda Cardellini, Chloe Sevigny and Sissy Spacek is reason enough to give it a chance.

It's not as good as S1 but it's still pretty good. I feel like they tried to throw so many things in there, maybe to quell those who complained S1 was too slow. There is A LOT going on. And it isn't quite as compelling as S1, but being invested in the characters I did want to find out what happened. (Not a spoiler, per se, but discussing my take on the ending ---> Let's just say I was not satisfied. It wasn't bad it just wasn't complete, at all.)
